Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.
Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

Up early; prodded dolefully at slideware; off to the
conference for the keynotes; amused by O'Reilly - apparently we
are all Gods (it's not just Eric Raymond?) - new: old lies
... Otherwise interesting - Stormy spoke excellently
on 'Is your Data Free'; Dirk did a nice quick MeeGo
overview.
-
Admired the Intel booth, met Auke for the first
time, in the flesh - interesting man; and caught up with Dave
Stewart; met all manner of interesting people.
-
Wandered the floor, met Corbin
Simpson and learned a lot about the state of X, Gallium,
KMS etc.
-
Lunch with Russ Nelson & Auke, saw Simon Phipps
in passing. Back to the booth to catch up with Frank Rehgo, and
others. Met Armin & Lillian doing hardware demos; saw the
awesome AAVA prototype Intel / Atom phone - sexy hardware,
modulo the lame-ass closed-source evilness of PowerVR. Intel
needs to hire some professional exorcist to rid themselves of
that. How is it possible to ship a CPU that has no instruction
set documentation for it's built-in pixel-shaders ? Anyhow -
a great device overall: if there was an open-source driver:
perfection.
-
Caught up with Bradley, met Aaron, Karren etc. and
split for dinner with them amd some fun HP guys, learned about
fossology; had a few queries cleaned up. Back to work on my
talk until late.

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
or fun.
